TERK antennas are designed to help deliver sharp, clear video reception. At TERK, our engineering department is dedicated to designing antennas that enhance both the latest technology and the aesthetics of any viewing environment. The TV4 installs in minutes, is easy to use and simple to adjust. Before using your antenna, please remove all parts from the box and read the owner’s manual carefully. The TV4’s unique and patented “Complentary Symmetry” technology utilizes two tuned elements, which have a large capacity for receiving VHF and UHF signals. This results in more stations with less noise and “ghosting” than conventional antennas. This unique design allows the antenna to stand only 43/4" tall, rather than the standard 36” - 42" length of traditional rabbit ears. The TV4 is easy to adjust, requiring only a slight rotation to obtain best reception. 1 Assembly of Your TV4 TV4 media antenna on 1 2 3 4 mediaantennaon 1. Receiving Elements 3. Coaxial Cable 2.

Center Control Arm Assembly: As shown above, simply insert the receiving elements into the center control arm and hand- screw the center cap, making sure you have a snug fit. 2 Installing Your TV4 TV4 Connecting your TV4 There are two ways to connect your TV4. This will depend on your model of television. For Televisions with One 75 Ohm Input for VHF and UHF: 1. Connect the coaxial cable from your TV4 to the “F” connector input marked VHF/UHF on your TV. See Fig.1. For Televisions with Separate 75 Ohm VHF and UHF Inputs: 1. Attach the band separator (included) to the coaxial cable attached to your TV4. 2. Screw in the VHF connector from the band separator to the VHF input on your TV or VCR. 3. Attach the 300 ohm twin wire from the band separator to the two screws marked UHF. See Fig.2. 3 VHF/UHFVHFUHFBandSeparator Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Operating Your TERK TV4 Low-Profile Indoor Antenna TV4 Holding the top of the center control arm, simply rotate the antenna to seek the best quality picture. Please Note: 1. Do not force the center control arm past its normal rotation positions. 2. Do not place your TV4 near large metal objects or appliances that would create interference. 2. Do not lift your TV4 by its receiving elements or place objects on them. 4. Late model televisions have on-screen menu controls for viewing VHF/UHF “Off-Air” or cable broadcasts. Please ensure that this menu control is at the proper “Off-Air” position. 4 Locating Your TV4 TV4 Your TV4 is a precision instrument and should be placed in a location that is best for receiving TV signals. It can be placed on top of any standard TV for ease of adjustment. 5 Frequently Asked Questions TV4 Q. I have a cable ready TV. Why am I not getting any channels above 13? A. The tuners inside of cable ready TVs have two modes. One mode is for cable and the other mode is for antenna. When the TV is in cable mode, and you are using an antenna, you will not be able to receive any channels above 13. To fix this, simply access the menu of your TV and switch the TV from Cable/CATV mode to ANT/AIR mode. Q. I have my TV in a metal cabinet. Will the antenna work for me? A. Any large metal objects will prevent the antenna signal from reaching the antenna. You must place the antenna outside of or above the metal cabinet. Q. My home has aluminum siding/insulation. Where should I place my antenna? A. Place the antenna near a window to minimize interference and improve your reception. Q. Can I use my antenna in a basement? A. TV signals cannot penetrate into basement locations due to their lower elevation. Please Note: Other variables, which are not related to antenna performance, can effect your reception. These include 6 6 distance from the source transmitting the desired station, and man-made and natural conditions. Example: Obstacles such as buildings between the transmitting source and your antenna.
